Cluj Transect Walk (and Feedback Session)

The walk we invite you to take in Cluj is a 5 hours long “transect” walk through the city of Cluj, from one “end” of the city to another “end”. It is not to be confused with a guided tour which would focus on (or necessarily pass by) specific locations. On the contrary, it is a walk conceived as an explorative arbitrary cut through the entire city, which should not privilege one neighbourhood against other ones. Nor should it privilege the center or the peripheries of the city: it should cover both center and peripheries, following a transversal imaginary line. We encourage you to consider this walk as a phenomenological exploration, whereby we invite you to raise your attention to the urban through the use of your senses and serendipity.

The Cluj transect walk is conceived and organized by Dr. Sacha Kagan (Leuphana University), with the help of Dr. Mara Ratiu (University of Art and Design in Cluj) and PhD and MA students from Cluj.

A feedback session for the walk is integrated in the conference program.
